The second member of Hummer’s performance-bred Alpha series (following the now-discontinued H1 Alpha) is the new-for-2008 Hummer H3 Alpha. It cures one of the biggest problems of the previous H3: not having enough power.

The H3 Alpha features a 5.3-liter small-block V8 engine mated to a four-speed automatic transmission that delivers 295 hp and 317 pound-feet of torque, enabling the vehicle to tow up to 6,000 pounds.

Several different packages and factory options can be chosen for the H3 Alpha, including a Luxury package, a Chrome Appearance package and other customizable accessories. The interior of the H3 Alpha is the same as on all H3 models.

Safety features include electronic stability control, four-wheel antilock brakes with traction control, dual front airbags and future compatibility with Vehicle-to-Vehicle, a GM safety system under development (read about it here).

GM’s OnStar also comes standard. A rearview camera and navigation system are optional. Similar to the H2, the H3 Alpha's engine features an aluminum cylinder block to reduce overall mass. The H3 Alpha goes on sale this summer.
